QA Features

Together provides built-in QA features to unobtrusively help you enforce company standards and conventions, capture real metrics, and improve what you do.

Metrics

Calculate object model complexity metrics to support quality assurance. From the resulting table, navigate directly to diagram or source-code.

To try it out:

  1. Open a project.

  2. From the speedmenu of any class diagram in the Explorer, choose Quality Assurance | Metrics.

  3. Accept the defaults in the QA Metrics dialog, accept the default metrics and click Next.

  4. In the QA output, select any element and choose Open in Class Diagram from the speedmenu.

 

Audit

Automatically check for conformance to predefined or user-defined style, maintenance and robustness guidelines. From resulting tables, navigate directly to diagram or source-code.

Try it out using the same steps and for Metrics, but choose Audit from the speedmenu.

Requirements tracking

The class Inspector now includes a tab for Requirements tracking. You can track requirements as properties of diagrams or diagram elements (including class memebers).

 

Requirements tab tracks requirements as properties of the model elements

Open a class diagram and focus the Diagram pane, a class, or class member to see these properties in the Inspector (speedmenu | Properties).
